|
| 7/1/2005 |
- Created a Maldives 2004 - Vilamendhoo page with a resort
report. We returned from this holiday less than a fortnight before
the Asian tsunami devastated so many places around the Indian Ocean.
|
| 19/9/2004 |

the new account. Installed a proper .htaccess file to
produce proper server-side redirects for moved pages.
|
| 6/9/2004 |

appearance of headings, etc.
|
| 16/10/2003 |
- Created a Mallorca 2003 page.
|
| 23/8/2003 |
- Added lots of pictures to the Provo 2003 and Thassos
2003 pages. For the latter, I used a CSS-based method instead
of a table-based method to lay out the pictures and captions on the
page. Works great in IE, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, and Opera.
|
| 26/7/2003 |
- Created Thassos 2003 page.
|
| 2/5/2003 |
- Created Provo 2003 page, about our holiday in Turks and Caicos.

| 2/3/2003 |
- Finally got round to making the video on the A Visit to the London Eye page play properly under both Netscape Navigator and Opera, as well as Internet Explorer.
|
| 27/2/2003 |
- Finished converting the entire site to XHTML 1.0 Strict. Phew.
Everything now totally latest-standards compliant, except for some odd
pages which contain somebody else's code which I either daren't or can't
touch, eg the Ancestors pages, which are automatically generated by
PAF.
- Noticed that redefining as XHTML has altered the font size and weight,
so adjusted the Cascading Style Sheet to change everything to Arial, and
a reasonable size. Looks better now.
|
| 2/2/2003 |
- Added some photos to the Mexico 2002 page.
|
| 20/1/2003 |
- Added some photos to the Normandy 2002 and Lake Geneva
to Lake Neuchatel pages.
|
| 15/11/2002 |
|
| 7/10/2002 |
- Added John's Ancestors and Linda's Ancestors pages
to the All about Us page. These pages are generated automatically
by the Mormons' "Personal Ancestral File" genealogical software.
I'll continue to expand these pages as we find out more about our forebears.
|
| 28/9/2002 |
- Added A long weekend in Normandy and Lake Geneva to Lake
Neuchatel pages.
|
| 13/8/2002 |
- Restructured the home page to remove frames and make it a lot faster
to load.
|
| 10/7/2002 |
- Added a Join our Mailing List page.
|
| 7/7/2002 |
- Added lots of photos to the Reethi Beach Maldives 2002 page.
- Decided that the Javascript slideshow page doesn't work very well,
so went back to the old-style photos page.
|
| 21/6/2002 |
- Added a Kefalonia page in the Holidays section after
receiving an enquiry from a reader thinking of going there. Experimenting
with a Javascript slideshow page.
- Moved the entire site from Freeserve to Plusnet to see if their free
service is any better. Please let me know if you think it's faster/slower.
- Experimenting with an amazing DHTML and style-sheet driven button
bar on every page.
|
| 14/6/2002 |
- Spotted and fixed an error in my Style Sheet which was leading Netscape
and Opera to make the entire site look even more ridiculous than it
already is. I had in error set whitespace to pre
instead of normal in the <body> selector. Curiously
IE ignored the whitespace property altogether, making the site look
quite nice. IE, huh?
- Fiddled with my Javascript marquee on the holidays page to
try and get it working properly under Netscape and Opera. Opera
doesn't seem to respond to the body onresize event. All
the browsers render some things differently - eg only IE responds to
<col> tags correctly (the first column of the Holidays
table should be centered).
|
| 22/5/2002 |
- Added a Reethi Beach Fish Photos page to Maldives 2002
|
| 19/4/2002 |

Holidays page.

|
| 18/2/2002 |
- Created a Seychelles 1990 page, added text - see later for
pictures.
- Added Keywords and Description meta tags to lots of pages that had
escaped.
|
| 27/1/2002 |
- Added lots of pictures to the Thudufushi page.
|
| 26/1/2002 |
- Changed the "marquee" on the Our holidays page to a Javascript
"ticker" alternative, which is more acceptable to the W3C HTML Validator.
I adapted one I found on the web somewhere by making it adapt its size
to the size of the page, and re-size automatically when the page is
re-sized. It's not perfect, but it'll do. Every page on
this site now approved by the W3C Validator.
- Attended to some broken links on the HotList page where other
people's sites have moved or disappeared. I was disappointed to
find that Dreamweaver doesn't check external links, and the plug-in
downloaded from the Macromedia site killed my PC completely when I used
it. I use the brilliant (and free) Xenu
to find broken links - it works really quickly and gives you a compendious
report.
